Ten years on from Leicester winning the Premier League, it's all kind of going wrong.

Despite having the same owners the whole time (though the dad died in that helicopter crash and it's his son now) it's like they've lost interest or something. Club staff were meant to be paid before Christmas and it's now been pushed back to the year end and there's the usual talk with these EFL clubs of points deductions and mismanagement. All whilst they have several £20m+ players giving nothing on the pitch

shouldn't have sacked rodgers and cooper

Still bigger than Spurs

It honestly reminds me of Montellier. They became champs for the first and only time in their history and ever since the club is literally falling apart. Original owner also died and his son took over.

Well at least they still have Remi Gaillard

Would Giroud returning help them?

FTFY

Better to be a yoyo club than one that barely hangs on every season. Awful signings ruined the squad
>>
shouldn't have sold kante and mahrez
>>
after the original owner got Kobe'd, the club was passed down to his children who didn't give a fuck about it

A shame, really. But surely things will get better eventually. It's always ups and downs, but you never know how much one period lasts. The championship was an extreme up no one could have anticipated
The owner thing does not surprise me. Sometimes I'm jealous of Premier League clubs and how much money they spend. But it is partially ridiculous, there seems to be a lot of wastefulness. And while our 50+1 isn't perfect, I still like that we don't have a single owner on whom pretty much everything depends. It feels so volatile and would probably spoil my mood. If we suck, I rest easy knowing we suck in general, not because of one or two assholes blocking the road

so, despite losing their owner in traumatic fashion
>>
>Club staff were meant to be paid before Christmas and it's now been pushed back to the year end
They weren't meant to be paid before you useless twat. They get paid 4 weekly and the club put out a memo to staff saying they wouldn't bring the pay forward a week because of Christmas. Holy fuck you're dim.

I just checked last season: why on Earth did they spend £5m on a Chelsea youth mutt who has made a grand total of 1 senior appearance?

>The Championship club – who won the Premier League in unforgettable fashion a decade ago -– have this year decided to delay their payroll policy for December until New Year’s Eve, sparking outrage and frustration at King Power Stadium.

>Leicester traditionally make the December payment before Christmas but have now “aligned payroll dates across the King Power Group”, risking a backlash from staff.

>It is understood that Leicester’s delay on payment is not related to any financial issues and purely an unfortunate situation which required a greater notice period. But staff are angry that they were only informed yesterday, which is just 24 hours before the supposed pay day.

>In an email sent to staff Kamonthip Netthanomsak, the interim managing director, wrote: “Hi all – You should have received an email regarding the alignment of payroll dates across the King Power Group.

>“We can appreciate the timing of this decision is not ideal and that staff may subsequently have financial commitments they were planning to meet with the benefit of an earlier pay day before Christmas.

>“Should any staff require particular support in this regard, the process will be treated in confidence and we will do our best to provide support where it is needed.”

It's shite behaviour, stop defending it.

Probably some datafaggotry, some program spitting out that he's super undervalued and would perfectly fit into the club's system
Or maybe plain nepotism via agent contacts. Perhaps both
Also, Premier League and upper Championship clubs seem to spend money just for the fun of it, they shit 5 million. At least that's the impression I get whenever I read transfer rumours. Some literal who played well for four games in Belgium? Here come Brighton with a 25 million offer. Said El Mala scores for Köln? That's gotta be at least 60 milion, and Premier League clubs seem to be willing to spend it. Tottenham are being linked with guys most people have never heard of, and the talk is about crazy sums
If a player sucks, just loan him to one the other ten clubs in the owner's portfolio, just like you did with 60 other players this season. Maybe he will get good there eventually. If not, well, why bother. The next superstar is just around the corner, and it will work at some point
>>
>>152649867
Absolutely, the fees are practically meaningless at that level.
>>
>>152649867
yep and all you have to do is sell the sport out to asian customers to do it
well that doesn't cover all the costs but your investment in the club goes up regardless because there's always another stupid buyer round the corner who wants to buy you out because line go up
>>
>>152649822
It's the defence that's truly awful. That belgian defender with the afro - how is he a pro?
>>
>>152650661
>Faes has made 131 appearances for Leicester
Christ

Like you said, sometimes you genuinely wonder how so many of these players even made it professionally when they don't even appear competent enough to kick a ball.
>>
>>152648720
someone post their ass eating gook sextape
>>
They weren't serious about establishing themselves when they waited until deadline day of the title defence season to spunk a club record sum on Islam Slimani, a literal plate of shit.
